Ring-Writer -- Can the iPhone do this?

We think that this is how text input on the iPhone should have been: do the new iPhone users agree? (Try out our simple SMS demo on your iPhone - write the short sentence, make the changes, and so on - and tell us what you think).

Ring-Writer is the easiest, fastest and most intuitive writing system for small communication devices equipped with touch screens..

Finally you can forget about mini-buttons, pluggable keyboards, virtual keyboard tapping and tedious character recognition systems.

Ring-Writer is available for free download for Sony/Ericsson P900 and the Nokia 7710 on http://www.ring-writer.com

where is arabic lang ????

[TimScanlan]

Arabic is a *little* more difficult than just adding a new dictionary, although the adaptation is quite feasible: need to define the distribution of the 28 Arabic letters, and handle the storage and output of Arabic script. Cyrillic, Greek etc would require about the same effort...

work its in spanish

[TimScanlan]

Yes, it works in spanish, as well as danish, english, finnish, french, german, italian, portuguese, romanian and swedish. And it's fairly easy to add new dictionaries.

wtf, there turning english into chinses, a symbol for each word, this is fuked

[TimScanlan]

Chinese writing was indeed one of the influences of Ring-Writer, but whereas Chinese characters often require many strokes, Ring-Writer shapes can be very efficient, and in this respect are more like a computer-aided shorthand. For instance, the shape for hello looks a lot like a written letter 'd', about five times more efficient than the long-hand written form for "hello". Tim

A nice novel idea! The use would speak volumes if the ui could be combined with other ways of handwriting input. Together they could increase the speed and efficiency of notetaking on mobile phone.
